Comments on: Content, Design, and Tufte http://www.programmersparadox.com/2009/09/09/content-design-and-tufte/ Long form thoughts from a Software Engineer Thu, 19 Jan 2012 13:42:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mark Mzyk http://www.programmersparadox.com/2009/09/09/content-design-and-tufte/comment-page-1/#comment-7680 Mark Mzyk Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:21:15 +0000 http://www.programmersparadox.com/?p=987#comment-7680 Hey Nathan, The overview was a great help. It strikes me as somewhat ironic that a man who stresses clear and effective communication can have books that are a bit dense. I guess some of design is still in the eye of the beholder. I also fixed the post to point to the Alumnae page and not the Peace homepage. Sorry about the mix up. I want to make sure you guys get credit for the work you did. Thanks for putting on the presentation, I learned a lot from it (even if I didn't remember it all). Hey Nathan,

Thanks for putting on the presentation, I learned a lot from it (even if I didn’t remember it all).

I trust now if you do pick up some of his books, they'll make a little more sense... (Also, we didn't design Peace College's main page, just the Alumnae Affairs department at http://alumnae.peace.edu.) Thanks for the write-up!
